I’m currently sitting in my little cubicle at work writing this little post out. I will type it up later when I get home, bur for now, writing it out gives me something to do in between taking calls. I’m working as a part-time call center rep for a food company, which I will not name. Originally, I started last February on what I thought was a 3 week gig, but here I am months later, still working here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a horrible job. The hours are very flexible, which is a plus, and the work is easy enough, but it’s not the type of job I can see myself in for much longer. I still can’t believe I’m here 9 months after I first started!

Time seems to have flown by and I feel more and more like it is slipping away from me. It was my 28th birthday a week ago, and if you asked me when I was a kid, where I saw myself at 28, it certainly wouldn’t be here in this job situation.

I don’t want to make this post too much of a downer because I have a lot of good things going on for me right now. I have a great husband, great family, and a lot of potential. I’ve always had great potential, but never really tapped into it or realized it. Instead, I’ve always just “gotten by”. I never had to try for good grades, or push myself to achieve anything, because it all came pretty easily to me without even trying. That’s why I think it’s so hard for me to get started living the life I want and making an effort at something. I’ve never had to make an effort at anything.

But no longer. This year, I promise myself that I will start participating in my life and my future, instead of going with the flow and letting it all pass me by. Luckily, my husband is of the same mindset, and we will both be working together towards our goals.

It will be interesting to read these past blog posts one year from now and see how far we’ve come. Hopefully it will be a positive experience and we will be proud of ourselves for our hard work and determination, instead of a depressing look at how another year has gone by with no changes!

But I’m confident we can do anything we set our mind to. It might sound cheesy, but it’s true. There are lots of other people out there who are living the lifestyle that we want, and I ask myself: What makes them so special that they can accomplish that? The answer is Absolutely Nothing! They are not smarter or braver or cleverer than us. The only difference is the determination and willpower they had to follow through with their dreams. And luckily for all of us, willpower and determination are not natural born gifts. Anyone can get it if they practice it enough. And if they can do it, then I am certain that we can do it too!

We are married couple in our early 30’s who have realized that we are stuck in our comfort zones and just going through the motions of life.
We’ve come to the realization that there is more to life and all it takes is for us to actually get out there an experience it.
We’ve decided to throw caution to the wind to try and escape our ordinary lives. Click Here to Read More.
